The players are also holding two sacks of coal designated for the NFC North, which is particularly appropriate this season, as Detroit is 5-0 against its divisional opponents entering Sunday's game. The Lions defense is also ranked second in the league this season. 

We're just wondering if Jay Cutler was on their Christmas card list.
